Best French Restaurants in Leaside

Great experience for Christmas Brunch. Amazing food and ambience. Jason was looking after us and was exceptional!! Polite and respectful from the start. Always helpful with whatever we asked or needed.

Enjoyed another excellent Christmas dinner with my family. The prix fixe menu had options to please us all. We all enjoyed our cocktails and appetizers. The mains including the perfectly-cooked venison, dover sole and turkey roulade were flavourful with tasty sides. Desserts were nicely presented and delicious. Dennis gave us the most warm and attentive service and we appreciate the welcoming reception we always get when we dine at Café Boulud.

Here’s a clearer and more concise version: The meal was delightful from start to finish. We began with the escargot and pain au lait—both featuring incredible breads. The pain au lait was melt-in-your-mouth, while the escargot and its sauce were exceptional. For mains, we had the boeuf bourguignon and tournedos rossini. Both were delicious, but the tournedos rossini was the standout. The flavors were extraordinary, with foie gras on top, a delicate brioche underneath, and a perfectly cooked filet mignon in the center. Our server, who was of French origin, was attentive, warm, and lovely, adding a really nice experience. The ambience was gorgeous, and everything about the evening was lovely. A truly memorable experience! We didn’t go to the speakeasy afterwards because we were too full and had a snowy drive ahead of us, but look forward to trying it in the future!

We came with our family just before Christmas during the Christmas Market time. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. we were welcomed quickly and shown to our table. We were a large group -7- but our table had plenty of space and was not cramped. Our food arrived quickly and all of us enjoyed our food. My son-in-law loved the Beef Tartare and the Oysters. He had some concerns about recent evidence of tainted oysters in other locations but our waitress was able to explain which types of oysters had been gained and to reassure that none of those oysters were served at Cluny. The Black Cod en-Papilotte was also described as delicious -spicy but not too much, interesting. Two of young men had Flat Iron steaks and pronounced them perfectl! Cluny felt like a special place to dine and they did not disappoint . A very enjoyable meal in a lovely setting.

Fantastic dining experience with Hector for our waiter. Delicious food, fabulous dining experience… we will definitely be back to try other entrees. Thank you for an awesome dining experience.
